April 2018
Everest Base Camp Trek, April 2018 This was the trip of a lifetime for me, this company Earthbound went above what I expected! I would not hesitate to use them again. Before the trip all questions were answered promptly, the guides were professional and knowledgeable.
Unforgettable dream trek to Everest Base Camp thanks to Earthbound! Outstanding & highly recommended company for trekking and sightseeing in Nepal! Earthbound run brilliantly by Rajan ji planned and executed our Everest Base Camp to perfection! The awesome service is rendered with a smile at any hour of the day. Starting with the driver Raju ji who meets you like a long lost brother to the peerless mountain guide Shree Ram ji and to the untiring sherpas Sumanth ji and Kumar ji we are in capable and caring hands all thru this journey. We did the 9-day EBC trek and flew back using helicopter from Gorakhshep. We stayed at the luxurious Ramada in Thamel. Easily one of the best hotels with great rooms and sumptuous breakfast with unbelievable variety. Exceptional service by the crew there led by Sanju ji. The pace of the hike was manageable and we rested in beautiful tea houses. They were spacious, clean, well stocked and had great food. Earthbound managed to get us rooms with attached bathrooms for 6 out of 8 nights!! We even got heated electric blankets in Debuche!! Shree Ram ji and Sumanth ji helped us at every step and even got us medicines for cold. The flight to Lukla and helicopter ride back were well organized and comfortable. They even arranged for my wife to fly into Kala Patthar and pick me up from Gorakhshep! We had 4 trekkers in our group. We also had a parallel Nepal tour for my wife and her sister which we will review separately. Even in Kathmandu our Earthbound hosts took us to Pashupati Nath, Swayambhu Nath and Boudh Nath before the trek and to a traditional Nepali dinner and cultural to celebrate our successful EBC trek. I'm indebted to Rajan ji and Earthbound crew for this unforgettable Nepal experience. They are now like family to us. I would highly recommend Earthbound for _any_ Nepal trip or trek. This is my second trip with Earthbound. I did Annapurna base camp trek with them last year!
Unforgettable Everest Base Camp Trek We just completed a 12-day trip to Everest Base Camp with Earthbound Expeditions. We have been on a number of trekking vacations, but this was by far the most amazing trip. The Himalayan mountain range was stunning and humbling. The Nepalese people, particularly those in the Khumbu region, were incredibly kind and hospitable. And of course, the food was delicious. We look forward to returning to Nepal again in the future and will definitely be using Earthbound Expeditions. Special thanks to the following individuals who made this a memorable, safe and joyful experience: (1) Rajan: Earthbound’s incredibly responsive and thoughtful leader. He patiently answered all of our questions about the trip prior to our arrival and accommodated many of our requests without question. He even picked us up at the airport and met with us again the day we came back from Base Camp. (2) Kumar: our Kathmandu city guide who shared his knowledge of Nepal’s rich history and culture by taking us to some World Heritage sites in Kathmandu. (3) Raju: our wonderful Kathmandu driver who ferried us safely back and forth to various destinations in Kathmandu and joined us our final night for a Nepalese cultural show. (4) Tiger: our wonderful porter who was never without a smile. He was kind and funny and always made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable on our trek. He was with us every step of the way and thoughtfully checked in to see if we were tired along the way. (5) Shreeram: last, but not least, our fearless guide. Shree was incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. He answered our many questions about food safety, high altitude sickness and hot showers with good humor and patience. He made sure we were hiking at a good pace to allow for altitude adjustment and shared his love of dal bhat with us. Most importantly, he instilled in us a deep appreciation for Nepal’s beauty, diversity and resilience.
12-Day Heli Trek to Everest Base Camp We completed the 12-Day Heli Trek to Everest Base Camp. Earthbound Expeditions made sure we were well prepared for our journey ahead, providing us with the best possible accommodations along the way. Our experience in Kathmandu, learning about the Hindu and Buddhist Cultures was remarkable. The trek to Everest Base Camp was truly about the journey, the relationships we built along the way, not to mention the relief and excitement we felt taking the helicopter back down the mountain. I can't wait to take another trip with Earthbound Expeditions, hopefully making my first ice climb to above 6,000 meters. Thank you to Shree, Abishek, Jiban, and Don for all of your help, expertise, and friendship along the way; I hope to see you again soon!
